SQL Server is the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) of choice for a broad spectrum of corporate customers and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) building business applications. Customer needs and requirements have driven significant product innovations in ease of use, reliability, scalability, and data warehousing. Microsoft's SQL Server 7.0 is the first database to scale from the laptop to the enterprise using the same code base, offering 100 percent code compatibility; the first to support autoconfiguration and self-tuning; and the first with an integrated OLAP server.
